Emmitt Smith: 18,355 yards

Some said he was too small, some said he was too slow. But in the end, Emmitt Smith proved all doubters wrong and became the NFL’s all-time leading rusher. Known for his excellent vision, tremendous leg strength and great balance, Smith helped lead the Dallas Cowboys to three Super Bowl titles in 1992, ‘93 and ‘95. He is the only running back to ever win a Super Bowl championship, the NFL Most Valuable Player award, the NFL rushing crown and the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award all in the same season (1993).
